A few unique things about this item:
Firstly, this item retains the original shine with a few very light marks and scuffs grading by sight in normal room light.  I took the time to play it and found the two sides to audibly average around VG+(excellent).  You can assign your own grade based on my detailed comments below.
Secondly, at the time of this listing, NO OTHER COPIES FOUND FOR SALE OUT ON THE INTERNET!
So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price. Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction!  It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s).
Here is a summary of the record(s):
Artist: Ruby Mae Smith and the Rubytones
Title:  The river of life + I'm ready Lord / God is the true light + The river Jordan Record:  Black vinyl with the original shine and a few very light marks and scuffs grading by sight in normal room light. Labels:  White with black/dark print.  "George King" written on both sides, "religious" written on one side.  Slight/moderate general/ring wear.  No stickers.     Trailing wax:  Side 1:  (the trailing wax is so thin, I can't make out anything written there even using a magnifying glass!) 
Comments:  I found the four tracks to audibly average around VG+(excellent).  You can assign your own grade based on my comments below.  A great addition to your 45rpm collection. 

Side 1: -- Comments
The river of life (a very light surface noise and some very light pops (3.3)) I'm ready Lord (a very light surface noise and some very light pops (3.35)) Side 2 -- Comments God is the true light (some very light pops and a constant very light surface noise (2.9)) The river Jordan (some very light pops (3.4))

Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people: NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)
3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective) VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise
